The Internet is very large, and constantly growing. One of the by-products of our beloved Internet is that often times businesses of all sizes can lose control over exactly what information is out there and where it is displayed.

There are numerous sources from which a directory or local search engine can get data for it’s listings. These are called “data aggregators.” Generally speaking, there is very little control that can be exercised over these data aggregators. A quick Google search for your business will likely return results that you didn’t even know existed, containing information that is either out-dated or incorrect.

Looks convoluted, right? This is where Yext steps in and simplifies the entire situation.
